Oral Health Our Priority
Those four words state our mission and vision. We foster an exemplary learning environment supported by excellence in oral healthcare education, clinical experiences and research. Our goal is to be the dental school of choice for students, faculty, staff and patients.
Oral Health Our Priority
We offer a Doctor of Dental Surgery, Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene, advanced education programs in Endodontics, Orthodontics, Periodontics and Prosthodontics, and residency programs in General Practice, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Pediatric Dentistry.
Pediatric Dentistry
Infinite Possibility
As the first – and only – pediatric dentistry residency in the state, the program supports the University’s land-grant mission to advance education and healthcare in West Virginia, expanding the reach of specialized dentists to its youngest residents.
Purposeful Partnerships
As a land grant University, it is upon us to advance education, healthcare and prosperity for all. Through unique service learning opportunities, School of Dentistry students learn the needs of the state and how to work in diverse settings as oral health advocates.
Outreach and Advocacy
School of Dentistry students must accumulate 100 hours or more of community engagement work prior to graduation. They have opportunities to work with the school's more than 30 service projects that match their interests.
Your generous contributions enable our students to continue learning and touching the lives of people throughout the state of West Virginia. If you'd like to help advance the field of dentistry, please consider making a gift to the School of Dentistry.
